The electric storm is commonly known as thunder.
In an electrical storm, the storm clouds are charged like giant capacitors in the sky. The upper portion of the cloud is positive and the lower portion is negative. How the cloud acquires this charge is still not agreed upon within the scientific community. However, it could be explained as follows:
When there is a charge separation in a cloud, there is also an electric field that is associated with the separation. Like the cloud, this field is negative in the lower region and positive in the upper region. The strength or intensity of the electric field is directly related to the amount of charge buildup in the cloud. As the collisions and freezing continue to occur and the charges at the top and bottom of the cloud increase, the electric field becomes more and more intense. it is so intense, in fact, that the electrons at the earth's surface are repelled deeper into the earth by the strong negative charge at the lower portion of the cloud. This repulsion of electrons causes the earth's surface to acquire a strong positive charge. The strong electric field, being somewhat self-sufficient creates a conductive path for the negative cloud bottom to contact the positive earth surface.

What are called supercells?
The term 'supercell' usually relates to an extremely large thunderstorm. Supercells can develop into huge electrical storms - or (if the storm starts to rotate) generate tornados.
Where do electrical storms occur?
Electrical storms, also known as thunderstorms, occur in regions where warm, moist air rises rapidly and cools, leading to the formation of cumulonimbus clouds. These storms are common in areas with unstable atmospheric conditions, such as tropical regions, where there is frequent convection and strong updrafts. Additionally, thunderstorms can occur in other regions during changing weather patterns or frontal boundaries.
What Is fixed by bacteria or by electrical storms?
Nitrogen in the atmosphere is fixed by bacteria and electrical storms. Bacteria, particularly those in the soil and root nodules of certain plants, convert atmospheric nitrogen into forms that plants can absorb and use, like ammonia. Electrical storms contribute by generating nitrogen oxides through lightning strikes, which also become available to plants after further chemical transformations. Both processes are essential for maintaining the nitrogen cycle in ecosystems.
Do tropical storms blow towards or away from the EquatorWhy are they called 'tropical' storms?
Tropical storms generally move away from the equator, though the direction of travel varies. They are called tropical storms because the form in or near the tropics over warm ocean water and have tropical characteristics such as a warm core whereas extratropical systems (outside the tropics) generally have a cold core.
What are the three names for tropical storms that reach over 74 mph?
In the Atlantic and eastern Pacific they north of the equator are called hurricanes. In the western Pacific north of the equator they are called typhoons. In the northern Indian Ocean they are called very severe cyclonic storms.
Where do UFOs origiate from?
Into this world? from electrical storms.
What is a line of violent storms called?
A line of violent storms is called a squall line.

The eastern Midwest is a windy area where storms called?
The eastern Midwest is a windy area where storms called derechos can occur. These are widespread, long-lived wind storms associated with fast-moving thunderstorms. Derechos can bring damaging winds, heavy rain, and even tornadoes to the region.

Why are Tropical storms called Tropical storms?
Because they occur in the tropics, i.e. the area between the Tropic Of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
Are there any gas spots on Uranus?
Yes. They are called storms.
